[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depression is a medical illness. What have you done to help her manage her depression in terms of encouraging medication or therapy? You know, that whole in sickness and in health thing?

+1. OP, it's concerning that your wife is seriously ill and you want to cut and run. You realize suicide is a side effect of depression, correct? Help her. Do more. Do better. Yes, it's very hard on you I have no doubt. Get yourself into therapy and do whatever self care you can. But she is ILL. You don't just leave. [/quote]

Being depressed is abusive? Who are you? If you were bed ridden with cancer, would you want your spouse to abandon you? Good for you that you have never experienced debilitating depression, but that doesn't mean you get to call her an abuser. [/quote]
